Default Shoenfeld Headers
I have a 99 c5 coupe with no mods except for a blackwing and would like to kick it up a knotch.I am told to start with headers.I am trying to decide which brand to use.I have a chance for a pretty good deal for a set of Shoenfeld,s .What is your opinions?

They build racing headers, have for years.
But I didn't know they made headers for street cars.

They were made for 00 C5 project car that decided to go turbo and they were never used.They are 1 5/8 with 3" collectors and are ceramic coated.The owner paid over $900 for them and is looking for $500.Now that no one really heard of them I am a little afraid to buy them.What would you suggest for a header to give me max rwh?

Personally, I'd rather spend $900+ for proven headers than take a $500 gamble on those in question.

I would stay with either LGs or Kooks. There has been enough said on this forum regarding the merits of both these systems.
